Every time I let my dogs outside to use the bathroom or to just play outside, whenever someone walks by my house or my neighbor goes outside they start barking crazily tell they can’t hear them anymore. I try to yell at them to stop but they just won’t listen. How do i get them to stop barking at people walking by my house or neighbor. Any type of website would be extremely helpful. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

i know it sounds mean but you can get collars that gives off a shock if the dog barks, you can set the shock so they only get a small tingle this will work also you can take it off after some time and the dog will think the collar is still on and wont do it again
Put coins inside a pop can. When the dogs bark, shake the pop can. They don’t like the noise and it should startle them and they will stop barking. My parents are using this to stop their dog’s barking and now, as soon as she sees the pop can she stops. Keep with it and they should understand that barking at people is not acceptable.
Do they listen to you any other times like to sit, stay, lie down on command? If not, they need to learn you are the Alpha and you won’t earn that position by yelling at them. You need to spend some consistent time with them outside and having a large cage would be useful. Could take up to couple weeks. First bark at anyone pick barking pup up saying “no,no, bad dog” put in cage or return to house. After time out period release outside again, repeat if they bark again, repeat, repeat give them treat if you see they don’t bark at anyone but notice the person’s presence. May not work if they don’t listen to you on other commands. Be persistent for results.
